Yes. Atleast for the first week. Not everyone consumes content at the same rate.

lol good luck getting people to roll with that

 

[funkystudent]

LOL @ the sea of Macbook airs and Vinny with his Sharp Laptop.

 

[Twin Tails]

vinny did it

 

[Giger Pilot]

lmao Jeff

Jeff: "I played tons of Mario Maker this year, it needs to be on the list."
Dan: "I played tons of Splatoon this year, I'd sooner put that on the list than Mario Maker."
Jeff: "THAT'S CRAZY"

Yep and a lot of people seem to just read the winners immediately. Bit of a pickle.

Why? I'll never understand...

Drew's delightful fancy restaurant metaphor is the GOTYPOTY (Game of the Year Paragraph of the Year). I thought these dudes knew not to start a show with a showstopper?

Yes. Atleast for the first week. Not everyone consumes content at the same rate.

Seems contrary to the Whole Thing tho. GB GOTY is specifically about the journey, not the destination. But aight.

 

[adamsapple]

Awesome that they put it up on YT along with the main website, YT works at my office so I can use it to pass the monotony of working the day after Christmas

edit: Hell yes vinny, no Macbook

Which one?

 

[Brakke]

Damn the write-up for the Hottest Mess is so gooooood. Sharp, clean, vicious, Grand Guignol nods. They do so little writing these days I forgot how they can really Bring It.

 

[KingKong]

Which one?

Jeff just dominating this first category

how did

Spoiler

Quake Live even make it on. They just kind of said 'theres renewed interest in Quake' and then no one else said anything about it and there it was

Why? I'll never understand...

I'm just not that precious about end of the year awards like that. They've been doing this for years, and the conversations are just as entertaining if you have a sense of where they're headed. Don't need to feel like I'm in the room with them going through the battles to appreciate how the sausage is made, and can't always devote 3+ hours when daily content drops to do so either.

 

[adamsapple]

If you're talking about the best game of last year, the game which won is something Jeff hasn't even played, so he's basically agreeing with the rest of 'em here.

 

[mnz]

Guess we won't see this for 2016.

Fair play. Each to their own.

Ill add the tertiary articles/videos when I get home today

Too damn hard parsing with mobile

Brad wasn't never going to argue against it and nobody else felt like they'd push their pet game through that wall.

 

[Twin Tails]

Jeff and Drew gonna pull an Ori on Stardrew.

 

[Albo]

Ds3 legitimately doesn't really deserve a spot this time, though. It's not just Jeff, none of them seemed to like it very much. It'd be more strange if it did make the list.

I was partly sarcastic but I completely understand why it wouldn't make the list this year for many reasons. 2015 and 2011 though...

 

[paperspace]

Will the lists be in video form like previous years?

 

[Lunar FC]

Abigail likes mayo. &#128514;

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Yes. Let me get a link for that in the op atleast..

Edit: I lied only an article?

[An-Det]

Really glad they have the text file up on the video at times to remind the viewer of the list. That was my biggest issue with the previous years, that with longer lists and debates it's easy to forget the state of the thing as a whole.

when I heard someone mention the witness a few pages back I realized that the top 5 was pretty much sealed

Overwatch ain't going to be as high as people think unless dan backs alex even then they have to go up against jeff and brad
